You should update your context installation. This is more than 5 year old!

That is meant for MkII. Unless there is a specific reason for you to use
MkII (like working with an old setup being used in production), you should
use MkIV. One of the advantage of MkIV is that it is MUCH easier to work
with TTF and OTF fonts.

You can install standalone in a parallel directory. If something goes
wrong with the installation, you can continue using your current
installation.
